1,CO0 people, and although be wore smile be
gave unmistakabIe evidence Of weariness.

get there when occasion demands. Members
Of the legislature, territorial officers and the
militia participated. The reception was given

Horrors of A Blizzard,

G. S. Mitchell, one Of tho surveying party Of
the Manitoba road caught in the great blizzard
in Montana Oh Feb. 10, thus relates his expe-
rience to the Minneapolis Journal. Mr.. Mitchell
said,
''You cannot form the slightest idea Of that
terrible storm. I have been in number Of
blzzards but none to compare with this. We
were about 40 miles west of Ft. Buford and
were making an easy march when tho blizzard
struck us. Five Of US left camp about an hour
behind the maiu party. We had gone but Is
miles when the storm overlook US.
We could 90 no further because of its sever
ity. The wind blew so that it turned over our
sloighs. During the night our horses got away
from us, and we decided to walk back to where
we started from. N. S. Parker, who was with
US, was unable to walk. We wrapped him up
in blankets, we had S8 pairs OF them, aud
leaving man with him we started for horses
to bear him to place of safety. The storm
was something awful. We could not SEQ ten
feet ahead Of US. I never saw the wind blow
so in all my life. At Ft. Buford the signal
service registered so miles an hour.
The mercury steadily fell until it registered
40 below zero. Imagine the situation. We
were on the prairie with not tree or hill
within rs miles. The wind was blowing 50
miles an hour and it was 40 degrees below zero,
The air was so full of snow we could not see.
1t took us two days to reach ranch. When
we returned to Parker our feet and hands were
frozen. We found the wagons half covered
with snow. We dug around aud found Parker
buried under four feet Of snow. Hs could not
move. His hands, feet and face wera frozen.
The water and food we had left for him were
frozen 80 that hs could not make use of them.
He had lain for three nights and three days on
the prairie IN the worst storm Of which there Is
any record, without anything to eat or drink.
Fortunately lie was brought around all right
at Ft Buford.''

Better Than tho Telephone.

APittsburg inventor has recently turned out
new telephone appliance which is more
wonderful than the telephone itself. II has
no transmitter, properly speaking, the CONVEX
sation being carried on by means Of areceiyer
alone. Attached to the receiving tube, which
is shaped somewhat different from those now
in use, is single wire, to the end Of which is
sensitive little appliance, which presses
against the larynx and glands of the neck, and
as the jaws are moved In conversation the
motion sends the words spoken along the wire
as distinctly as the telephone now In use, and
it Is claimed, even more distinct. There is no
necessity for yelling at the man at the other
end OF the line, as tue sound and words are
conveyed by the slightest motion OF the jaws.
The inventor got his idea from still moro
wonderful mode OF conversation which he
witnessed in a New England town some years
ago. The conversation took place between s.
nian who wasdeaf, dumb and blind, and one Of
his relatives. These two conyerssd BY placing
the tips Of their fingers on each other neck ia

means the two would converse as intelligibly, IS
far as they were concerned, as persons ia ordi.

Our people Monday morning suddenly found
themselves transported from the chilly blasts
of winter into the balmy atmosphere of spring.
warm "chin0ok" wind came from the west,
the sun shone bright, and by 9 o'clock gen
eral thaw had set in, and the snow began
rapidly to disappear. Tho mercury during the
day stood between 40 and so above. As the
sun went down the mercury sank little be-
low tho freezing point, where it remained
during the night. Tuesday was most repe-
tition of Monday, and at an early hour our streets
were filled with teams and people from the
country. Tho stores were crowded with Gus
toners, and it made our merchants feel as
though flush times had come again. The hill
tops around are bare of snow, and very little
remains on the plowed ground. Verify, March
has come in like lamb, but It remains to be
seen whether 1t will 20 out as roaring lion.

the sun was shining bright Saturday, the wind
was very high and great deal Of snow was
In the air. The Hope train was abandoned,
and we were consequently without mails. The
Sherhrooke mail did not get in till Sunday
morning aud the Tower City mail did not de-
part till Sunday morning. The wind went
down Saturday night and Sunday morning
was calm and bright with a magnificent mir
rlage, in which the towns along the Northern
Pacific as far east as Casselton were plainly
visible.
